    I just checked Viva - the two untracked from yesterday have gone on. :)

    eta: MORE nv ones on there too. :D

    ETA: AGAIN - just the one, and that ended my good run. I got screened out. :(

    Never mind Elysia, you have done well this week.

    I had the big T one too so looking forward to the Boots voucher. I did another one for MS as well and managed to redeem £5 Am voucher on there.

    Well done Rufus - I've got enough on there to redeem for £10, but I'm saving them for £20 - they work out better value that way. ;)

    Yes, I cant save them up though, I am so wary after losing out on loads of money on the daily click sites last year when they were all going bust. I prefer to draw the money out as soon as I can.

    I am going to get on with my quilt tonight, OH has gone to work and YD is still away until Sunday. Nothing worth watching on the tele really. I dont follow the soaps and thats all that seems to be on these days of an evening.

    I know what you mean Rufus - I lost out on Farepak going bust and lost £5 grand (not all mine, but some was my mum and sisters :( ) I figured £20 isn't much to lose - it's like YG, What would happen if they went bust just before redeeming? - that would be £50 - so £20 isn't too bad. ;) I do see what you mean though.

    I found out that if you order vouchers off T, (and other sites) - it you redeem for more than £70 or £80 in one go, they have to send them recorded delivery - having had two lots of £15 gift vouchers go missing, I might just save them up, that way I have some back up if they go astray.

    I just got another piney. I'm having a fab week for surveys. :) I think I'll give reviewing a miss tonight, I was still on here until 3 this morning - I need an early night.

    Elysia - that is far too late hon. We can't keep it up or we will be ill. I am spending a bit too much time there this week, but I'm hoping for plenty of rates while I am away. I can only hope. I am up to £27.70. I know I can't keep it up though, and I have too much other stuff I am neglecting.

    Thanks for saying about viva earlier. I got my claim in. I'm just going to see if I can do the survey, and then check email one last time I think, then get on with a few other tasks.

    Busy day tomorrow too making sure I get everything ready and do some more cleaning. Apparently my sister said she is coming over too. That should be a help as she is a bit hyper and doesn't ever stop. She'll soon have me organised.

    Hi there
    I've been lurking on and off for a while, so I hope you don't mind me popping in and asking a question!! Trying to get my son signed up on YoungPoll, but where it says
    To begin, enter your existing OnePoll Details:
    I keep getting an error message saying Invalid email/password - even though I'd just logged in to OnePoll with those details....
    I get the feeling I'm missing something obvious... :huh:
    Thanks for any suggestions!!

    Morning everyone, hope you are doing ok. Day off with the kids today, got to nip to Mr M and then taking the kids to a play place for lunch. DD had her party there in June and I have a free ticket for her so only have to pay for one. 2 more items sold on Ebay yesterday, and another one which doesn't finish for 2 days has bids on. I've got the next lot of photos taken, just need to write up the descriptions before listing. May do it tomorrow - DH is at a golf day. Sorted all my ebay stuff out last night, only got 1 box of stuff left to sell which I am quite chuffed about, at one time there was about 6! Got given a load of clothes for my DD as well including some dress up stuff so need to sort through what she already has that doesn't fit and get that listed too.
    Feel in the mood for cake making so may turn my hand to that later.
    Hope everyone has a good day xx
